The Eurasian griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus), a widely distributed scavenger, plays a crucial role in ecosystem health by consuming decomposing carcasses. Scavengers have adapted to avoid disease from the rotting carrion they feed on, probably through a specialized gut microbiome. This study aimed to characterize the gut microbiome of G. fulvus (n = 8) present in two rehabilitation centers in mainland Portugal an...

A prevenção da dor e o seu controlo eficaz são enfatizados como prioridades para a humanização das unidades obstétricas. O duche terapêutico constitui uma alternativa não farmacológica fácil de implementar, cuja eficácia não tem sido reconhecida pelos enfermeiros. Objetivo Avaliar a efetividade do duche terapêutico no alívio da dor durante a primeira fase do trabalho de parto. Métodos Estudo quasi-experimental ...
Introduction Pain prevention and effective control is emphasized as a priority for the obstetric unit’s humanization. The therapeutic shower it’s an easy-to-deploy non-pharmacological alternative whose effectiveness has not been recognized by nurses. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic showering for pain relief during the first stage of labor. Methods Quasi-experimen...
"Plants form new organs throughout their lifetime. This depends on the activity of pluripotent stem cells that reside in microenvironments called meristems. The shoot apical meristem (SAM) is responsible for the development of all above-ground tissues, keeping a fine balance between cell proliferation and differentiation, to enable the continuous production of organs such as leaves, flowers, and the stem.(...)"
A doninha (Mustela nivalis) é um pequeno carnívoro, de espécie autóctone e protegida1, cuja entrada em Centros de Recuperação de Animais Selvagens não é frequente. Desta forma, torna-se pertinente a descrição dos cuidados de enfermagem veterinária aplicados na recuperação de uma cria desta espécie, que deu entrada no CERAS – Centro de Estudos e Recuperação de Animais Selvagens – com cerca de 10 dias de idade e ...
In addition to environmental pollution issues, social concerns about the sustainability, safety, and quality of conventionally grown fruits and vegetables have been increasing. In order to evaluate if there were any microbiological differences between samples of organic and conventional lettuce, a wide range of parameters were tested, including pathogens and indicator organisms: the enumeration of Escherichia c...

Evaluation of lung function is central to the management of chronic obstructive respiratory diseases. It is typically evaluated with a spirometer by a specialized health professional, who ensures the correct execution of a forced expiratory manoeuvre (FEM). Audio recording of a FEM using a smart device embedded microphone can be used to self-monitor lung function between clinical visits. The challenge of microp...
